Double Hamlet
This week was a busy week.
Monday was labor day. We went to the lake in daybreak with the Rogers and Poulsons. It was fun. In the afternoon we had a barbecue to which the Plastows and Gutierrezes came. We played Small World, and had a near disaster with the hotdogs. It was fun.
On Tuesday night Alison worked on getting ready to write a blog about homeschooling as a possible type of alternative income. If we can get our alternative income up a bit, perhaps in a few years Mike will fully retire instead of just working till 2.
On Wednesday Rea put on with her friends a play that she wrote. It is called "Hamlet: Not a Tragedy" She has been writing it since Alison and Mike went to Hamleton and told her about it. It is based on Hamlet, but Ophelia is a more important character, and no-one dies in the end. Also, Ophelia has a sneaky brother named Demetrius. Here is the recording.
On Thursday we went to the library, and Mike went to BGDG, and got a lot of amazing feedback about his game. He needs to incorporate it, and perhaps this game is going to be an awesome game.
Friday was the first day of the new nature group, and Alison and the kids went to a new park. It was exciting. Friday night we went to see Hamleton again, but this time with the kids. We really loved it. The kids loved Eric Jensen's character - Guildenstern, because he couldn't rhyme at all. Alison was surprised that she liked the queen much more this time - perhaps she was played by a different actor? Polonius also seemed to level up his acting skills this time.
On Saturday we started the day by going to the Sandy LDS Farm. We picked cherry tomatoes for the bishop's storehouse, and then we went to the Sandy farmers market to buy groceries. We did some work around the house, and then we went to buy baby supplies. We did a clean of the whole house, and then we went to a party at the park (one with all the mothers that had babies from the same birth center as our kids were born at.) Finally, we gave the kids a bath, and Rea and Alison snuck out to the DI to buy clothes for Rea. Sara was so sad when she found out.
We plan on going to a game night at the Ford's house tonight. We will tell you next week how it goes.
